A flight from silence, not quite love
As if a ring alone could mend a soul

A lifeline...

Greed governs some love

...Humans, long a self-seeking breed,
Oft concoct love foreseeing need.
With tender grass lush green 
Does a butcher fatten
His sheep in his own selfish greed.

might the fox

there labors shall be in vain!
